In Brandenburg, we’ve set up a TTN-connected station to monitor soil moisture & light intensity—exploring how these factors affect young oak seedlings growing under mature pines.

News from Jul 14, 2025

Our research group has set up a new "The Things Network" (TTN) connected sensor station in a pine forest in Brandenburg. The station continuously measures soil moisture, air temperature and humidity as well as light intensity to explore how these environmental factors influence the growth of young oak seedlings growing beneath mature pines.

This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts in Smart Forestry, combining ecological field research with remote sensing techniques such as terrestrial laser scanning to better understand forest growth.
